USB 3.0 is getting hot with more companies jumping into the creation of new USB 3.0 enabled hard drives and accessories. Verbatim is also getting on the bandwagon, so they’ve just enabled their Store ‘n’ Go Portable HDD series to get the USB 3.0 support.

The updated Verbatim Store ‘n’ Go Portable hard drive with the superspeed USB 3.0 interface is going to be available in three sizes, 500GB, 750GB and 1TB. The interface is also backward compatible with USB 2.0, so if you think your PC/laptop is not that modern yet, you can still enjoy storing your data into the hard drive with USB 2.0’s 480Mb/s transfer rate.

I think it’s not limited to Intel or AMD only. It’s depend on the manufacturer who created the motherboard or equipment that matter. Such as ASRock, they’ve just started to offer USB 3.0 front port on their new motherboard release. I believe others will follow up soon.
